How to create categories for users?

[SnimSnam]

On my job board, I’d like to have a page where job seekers can post information about themselves.

Their picture, experience, CV, and their contact info, etc.

Employers can browse through these profiles and see if they find a suitable candidate for their open positions.

How can I do this??

Unfortunately there’s no such feature for regular users yet, you can enable front-end profiles for them in HivePress/Settings/Users, and even add custom attributes in Users/Attributes, but unfortunately there’s no search & categories functionality yet like for company profiles.

There may be a workaround if you use company profiles for both candidates and companies, just by renaming all the “company” words to e.g. “profile” via Loco plugin, and adding 2 top-level categories like Companies and Candidates, also enabling direct registration in HivePress/Settings/Companies section.

Then anyone can register and choose the “profile type” this way (basically the category), and the form will show category-specific fields (for companies or candidates).

Hope this helps

Thank you for your response, but I don’t really want to do it that way. Because there is no way to monetize it. I’m thinking of allowing job seekers to post their profile and CV for companies to find, but they would have to pay a small fee to do so.

So if it is not currently possible with the current set up, would it be possible to hire someone to implement this feature into my site?

If so, how much would it cost?
